Tongbao Building, three floors.
"I've met senior." Yuan Qing said in awe.
In front of him is an old man in purple clothes. His beard and hair are all white but his face is like a baby. He is sitting on a futon, his eyes are slightly closed, and his body is full of spiritual pressure. He is undoubtedly a pill-forming monk.
There is a horizontal table in front of the old man, and a futon is placed opposite the horizontal table. Other than that, there is nothing else. This whole floor does not look like a merchant's pavilion, but rather like a secluded residence of Taoism, a quiet room for practice.
"I have completed my foundation building, and I am still a sword cultivator. Tell me, what do you want to buy?" His spiritual thoughts swept over him, and the old man opened his eyes and spoke. His voice was hoarse and harsh, like metal and stone rubbing against each other.
"This junior wants to buy Wanhua Clay, Tianxing Sand and Silver Marrow." Yuan Qing accepted Daoji and said bluntly.
After hearing this, the old man made no other move, but saw a slight flash of light, and there was a disc-sized gray-white stone and a fist-sized brilliant silver crystal on the ground.
"I have used up the Tianxing Sha myself, and only the Wanhua Mud and Silver Marrow are left." The old man said casually.
Yuan Qing looked at the two objects carefully, and then used his spiritual power to investigate. After confirming that they were correct, he asked: "I wonder how much the price is?"
The old man smiled slightly and replied, "The rules at this level are different. If you are fellow Taoists of the same level, you can trade spiritual stones. But you are just building your foundation. If you want these two treasures, it depends on whether you can come up with something." I am willing to exchange for the things that make me excited."
After speaking, he looked Yuan Qing up and down with a rather amused expression.
Yuan Qing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and whispered: "In this case, I'm rude to you."
After saying that, he stepped back a few steps, then waved his sleeves, and saw a flash of silver clouds, and there was a five-foot green wolf on the ground. It had ferocious fangs and sharp toes and claws. However, the body was only divided into two parts, and it was already a mutilated corpse. .
"Oh, a fifth-level green-backed wolf demon corpse can be replaced with another one." The old man glanced at it briefly and said casually.
When the young man heard this, he calmly waved his sleeves and placed another one. It was still the green-backed demon wolf, but this time it was split into two parts. The cut was smooth and clean.
Seeing this, the old man chuckled and said, "You're lucky, kid. These two pieces of materials are yours." After saying this, he waved his hand and released a mysterious light, collecting the two monster corpses.
The Yuan and Qing Dynasties also took the treasures into their pockets, and then resigned.
Little did he know that after he left, the old man smiled proudly, and a longan-sized ball in his palm exuded a misty green glow.
"Hehe, there is indeed a demon pill..."
Second floor.
In the side room, the woman poured a cup of tea with her own hands and asked with a smile: "I wonder if the conversation between my friend and the elder went smoothly."
"Not bad." Yuan Qing replied calmly.
"That's good," the woman continued, and then handed over a small bag with aqua blue and gold patterns: "These are the spiritual stones exchanged for the batch of animal materials from the Taoist friend. There are 26,000 spiritual stones in total. After excluding the consumption here, there is still one All Souls Stone."
Yuan Qing took the bag and put it into his sleeve with a brief thought. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly changed his mind and asked: "I wonder if there are storage bags for sale in your building. Yuan needs two more; besides, I want to Ask Madam about the teleportation array, do you have any relevant news?"
"Of course there are storage bags. As for the teleportation array, I don't know about it. On weekdays, all the goods in the building are transported by merchant ships. I might not be able to help my fellow Taoist." The woman said with an apologetic smile. .
"Do you have a nearby map?" Yuan Qing continued to ask.
"The map is a matter of confidentiality and cannot be sold to outsiders," the woman shook her head and replied, "However, there is a copy of Chen Guo's map for sale. Although it is a bit crude, it is better than nothing. Do you want it, fellow Taoist?"
Yuan Qing thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"jasper......"
After a transaction, the young man spent another five hundred spirit stones. When he was leaving, he asked as if chatting: "By the way, I heard that the shopkeeper Chen of Tongbao Tower is a very generous man and has a great capacity for drinking. Yuan also What is in the cup, my heart longs for it, but I don’t know where it is?”
The woman did not expect that he would ask such a question, and she hesitated for a moment before replying: "That's really unlucky. My husband was out for something before and has not returned yet. We can only have a drink with the Taoist friend another day."
"I see, farewell." The young man said with a slight cup of his hands.
The woman Yingying replied with a blessing: "Brother Taoist, walk slowly."
...
Three floors.
The old man sat silently and said leisurely: "Go ahead."
The woman knelt down and sat opposite him and replied respectfully: "This man is worth a lot of money. All the materials he sells are taken from fourth-level monsters. He also bought two storage bags. There should be some leftover. This article Big Fish. As for his identity, he didn’t mention a word except that he called himself a disciple of Xuanyuan. However, before he left, he asked about the teleportation array and the map, so Zhuo Ya thought that this statement was true."
"Disciple Xuanyuan, this is interesting." The old man opened his eyes and whispered to himself.
"Elder, is there anything wrong?" the woman asked doubtfully.
The old man chuckled and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that this kid is quite capable. Prepare more manpower to avoid any accidents. Also, tell Le'er to be smart with your actions. The current situation is turbulent and things will change later."
"Yes, I sincerely follow the elders' teachings." The woman replied respectfully, bowing and begging to leave.
After a while, several commoner boys in various places in the city stopped in unison, took out jade pendants from their arms and put them between their eyebrows. Then the figure of a young man dressed in white appeared in his mind, and a cold female voice sounded: "Found it." Keep an eye on this person."
Not long after, five gray shadows flew out of the shop and disappeared without a trace.
...
Three hours later, we live together in happiness.
Next to the window on the second floor, Yuan Qing was drinking wine in silence from bowl to bowl. On the table were a bowl of peanuts, a plate of fennel beans and a small jar of yellow clay, with red paper pasted with the inscription "Apricot flower stuffing".
In a blink of an eye, the wine was gone and the jar was empty. The young man stood up and came to the counter. He asked for a few more jars, folded his sleeves and put them away, then threw down a low-grade spiritual stone and walked away.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he realized that the Immortal was really in front of him. He thought that luckily nothing went wrong and offended the Immortal. At the same time, he secretly sighed that his apricot blossom brew was really good and the Immortal also liked to drink it.
After leaving Defang City and driving the spirit boat, Yuan Qing chose a direction and continued to move forward. Then he took out two maps and compared them carefully.
Speaking of which, this second map can be considered an unexpected gain.
After leaving Tongbao Tower, Yuan Qing wanted to buy some spiritual wine. On the way, he saw a copy of "Chen Tianbao Lu" and was inspired to look through it. Unexpectedly, there was a map recorded in it.
Although this picture only marks the source of various treasure materials, when viewed together with the picture of Tongbao Tower, it is an extremely detailed picture of the Chen Kingdom.
In addition, he also learned a piece of news when buying spiritual wine: after the Beiliang War, Jingtian Sect and Fengyue Valley had another dispute.
It is said that the leaders of the two sects fought over the rare treasures. As a result, Master Jingtian Sect Master was seriously injured and disappeared. Master Fengyue Gu Ding returned to the valley, rested for a few days, and then led the entire sect to attack Jingtian.
Although I don't know whether the news is true or not, this somewhat clarifies the young man's previous doubts: Moon worship is rampant, it turns out that Jingtian has too much time to take care of himself.
Let's say that Yuan Qing put away the map and was about to continue studying the art of weapon refining, when suddenly there was a warning sign in his heart, as if a sharp knife was hanging from the top, and life and death were in an instant.
So he immediately abandoned his spirit boat, used his sword to escape, and followed his spiritual sense to evade.
But the next moment, a scarlet crescent moon flashed past, followed by a crackling sound and spiritual light bursting out, it turned out that the spiritual boat had been destroyed.
"Humph, you can hide pretty quickly."
Cold snorts sounded from all directions, Yuan Qing released his spiritual consciousness to explore, but found nothing.
Immediately afterwards, five colors of red, cyan, indigo, green, and purple brilliance suddenly appeared, and instantly formed a gray film of light, covering a hundred feet of void. Inside the dome, gray fog filled the air and there was chaos.
Yuan Qing was trapped inside before he had time to react. In an instant, his five senses were numb, his consciousness was covered in dust, the sword light was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and even the movement of spiritual energy in his body was stagnant.
However, he did not panic. He held his breath and concentrated, cleared his mind, and moved the clear sword heart. Immediately, five deep evil thoughts emerged in his heart, like a torch in the dark night, dazzling like a bright light.
There is another pure mind that is free from the five evil thoughts, and I don't know whether it is an enemy or a friend.
Then the sword rang out long and silvery, and the young man used the art of combining body and sword to strike at the evil thought.
Unexpectedly, before the light of the sword arrived, three out of five evil thoughts were eliminated. Then the light shield collapsed, the gray mist dissipated, and the giant sword broke out of the formation. The sword intent was fierce, the sword energy surged, and a rain of blood rolled up.
At the other end of the void, the afterglow of the golden light was about to die, and the afterimage of the unicorn was not yet hidden. A small civet cat stepped on the smoke and was looking at Yuan Qing leisurely. The vertical lines between its eyebrows were shining brightly, and its pale golden eyes were full of color.
On the horizon, a gray shadow ran away at high speed, scurrying like a rat in panic.
"It's you!" Yuan Qing exclaimed when he saw the little beast, but he was thinking in his heart. He had already entered the river to wash away the smell and changed direction several times. How could he still catch up with him?
The little beast snorted softly and said via voice: "Why, aren't you happy to see me? This princess saved your life just now. Why don't you come over and kneel down to thank me for saving your life!"
Hearing the voice transmission, the young man frowned, thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he turned his palm and held out a crystal ball. With a "bang", it dispersed into clouds, swept up the young man and floated away. His speed could be described as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was already ten feet away, and he would disappear into the horizon in a moment. .
The little beast watched it go away quietly, licked its mouth, and said to himself: "Humph, our souls are attracted by each other, we are so close to each other, let's see where you can run!"
After saying that, he also took up the smoke and chased after him.
...
Tens of thousands of miles away, somewhere in the desert.
On the Purple Jade Flying Boat, Shopkeeper Chen's expression changed slightly, and he took out a milky white jade pendant and placed it between his eyebrows.
"Husband, the elders have told you to return to Fangshi as soon as possible after handling the matters at hand. In addition, if you find the true blood of Qilin, come back early and you may be able to get a share of it." The female voice said warmly.
Just as he put away the jade pendant, he heard a green figure below shouting: "Shopkeeper Chen, what's going on?"
Shopkeeper Chen replied calmly, "Nothing," but the four characters "Qilin True Blood" were all in his mind, and the magic formula in his hands was unconsciously loosened.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A rumble of thunder suddenly sounded within the crimson light curtain, and a ball of aqua-blue lightning tore the light curtain into pieces as soon as it came into contact with it. The human figure shot out and suddenly reached dozens of feet away.
"Everything you do today, Chen Mu will be repaid a hundredfold! Cousin, you have to wait patiently!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge spiritual pressure shot up into the sky, and the spiritual light flew through the sky.
Shopkeeper Chen's face was as gloomy as water, and he said fiercely: "Thousand Miles Instant Talisman! Let's go!"
...
At the same time, Tongbao Tower, third floor.
"Are you sure it's the true shadow of Qilin?" The old man opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice. In front of him was a boy in gray robe, standing with his hands down.
"This subordinate guarantees with his life that he is definitely the true shadow of Qilin. However, this demon may have impure blood, and his enchantment skills are extremely strange. If this subordinate hadn't practiced the blood demon way, he might have died like his four brothers. Yes." The boy replied.
The old man waved his hand and replied: "It doesn't matter, as long as you have the true blood of Qilin, please step back."
About a quarter of an hour later, a mysterious light flew out from Tongbao Tower and disappeared.
Not long after, six faint rays of light flew out from Jingshuifang City one after another, followed the direction of the mysterious light, and disappeared into the horizon...
